The Navier-Stokes equations form the cornerstone of fluid mechanics, describing the motion of viscous, incompressible fluids through a set of nonlinear partial differential equations derived from ...

Abstract: Proposed missions such as a Mars sample return mission and a human mission to Mars require landed payload masses in excess of any previous Mars mission. Whether human or robotic, these ...

My broad scientific interests are in stellar astrophysics, with a particular emphasis on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), convection theory, and the use of waves as a seismic probe of stars like the Sun.

Tong's research focuses on understanding the solar coronal heating problem by conducting magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations with wave heating mechanisms and comparing with observations.

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) as a research area investigates the dynamics of electrically conducting fluids—such as plasmas, liquid metals, or saltwater—under the influence of magnetic and electric ...
